Candidate-reported interview process
Started with a phone screen with HR. Then had a panel interview that lasted about 1.5 to 2 hours. There were groups of two people for 30 minutes each. The interviewers were friendly. Unfortunately, HR never got back to me, so I didn't get the job. I just think it would have been more professional to receive a rejection notification, especially after a full panel interview.
I got a call from the hiring manager, then met in person with about 8 different people in a rotation style interview, where they all asked pretty much the exact same questions. They never called me to say I wasn't getting the job and also didn't respond to any of my e-mails.
The whole thing took about half a day. I had four rounds, each 30 minutes long, with two team members in every round. It felt like a long process, but it was fine. They were respectful and didn't ask tricky questions, which was good.
